ETS is actively recruiting for critical roles such as Psychometricians, Assessment Developers, Remote Proctors, and AI/ML Engineers, all of whom will contribute to shaping the future of educational assessment globally.
“ETS’s focus is on building capabilities that will shape the future of education and the workforce,” said Dennis Stetzel, Senior Vice President, Production and Delivery, ETS. “We look forward to leveraging the extraordinary talent in India, under Mona’s leadership, to expand and enhance impactful learning solutions worldwide.”
